100% Agree. It is similar to him in the 8's last season deliberately and needlessly flattening Flannagan from behind in the opening quarter of game 2 Vs Salford. I wonder where we would have ended up in that game and as a club now if the officials had seen that and sent him off there and then !

I questioned him last year if he would be able to cope with the pressures and extra microscopic scrutiny that SL ensures all players need to play under. I am still wondering if this boy Acton will ever learn. He is 26 next birthday and we are still not seeing any signs of any leveling of maturity with him.

Absolutely. The Qualifiers are 7 high stake games, played in a pressure cooker environment. It requires players who are totally disciplined with the mind set and ability to get the job done, remaining 100% focused no matter how intense the pressure or provocation.

IMO and all things considered, Acton probably serves us best sat in the stands during this competition. To much is at stake for his silly shenanigans now.

I did write a reply to this however, along came Mr Blue Circle and pinched it, again, CBA

On the subject of the Review Panel citing incidents in SL games (which is where Jamie is usually spotted!) I stumbled across this clip, in Sky's '5 Biggest Hits of the week'. One of the hits was a tackle by Eloi Pelissier and Atelea Vea, on Salford's Junior Sa'u. Granted, my eyesight may be ailing, especially when watching through cherry & white tinted spectacles, but can anyone explain to me what Sa'u appears to do to Vea, in this tackle? (watch Sa'u's head movement) If Sa'u does what I believe he does, why wasn't he cited? http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sp ... e-round-23

He wasn't cited,as the review panel were not looking for incidents involving Salford. Ben Murdoch-Masila was the prime example.Just a word from the ref after a double bubble and the review panel must see that and also believe it not worthy of a charge.

If I didn't already know how disciplined all the other SL teams are, I may have mistaken Sau's action as a deliberate head butt!
